Cotton Picking Time on Shoaf Creek

Samuel Feemster Riley standing in the door of a cotton pen in the field during the early 1960's or late 1950's readying cotton for the trip to the gin on the old Riley farm along Shoaf Creek near the New Chapel Community. This photograph was in a collection of photos of New Chapel Farm given to me by my aunt, Erin Cockrell Riley.
